need a little help with broadcom 4318 driver

guys i am trying to get familer with back track but can not get it to reconize my wireless card..when i i run my live cd it says no wifi card, but loads the bcm43xx driver in start up.. if i run lspci it shows my wireless card as a broadcom bcm4318 [air force one 54g] but if i run iwconfig it says

when i look at it it shows no accesspoint with the iwconfig... but injection works everything works perfect i was going by tut on aircrack website but i got it working good now...thanks for the reply... i will probaly buy a different card cause the broadcom doesnt have very good range...now i just gotta figure out wpapsk

I have the very same card and have no problems you should check out xatar's post
just serch "Howto: Configure Network Cards 2". The card even works with packet injection after you install the patch for it.

i am connecting perfect now... the only thing is when i type iwconfig nothing is ther in ap but when i do the injection test coem back 88 to 100 percent everytime and am able to get wep key...this is my home so i am very close to router but if i go about 20 feet from router i get no link between the two...

i have everything running but was wondering g how long does it take to crack a wpa connection... i have been running for 45+ mins... which i read it could take up to 2 days.. but just wanted to know if there was a faster way

How long for cracking WPA??

Depends if the word is in your dictionary or not. It could take 2 months depending upon the size of your dictionary. And even then it will be 2 months wasted if the password is NOT in your dictionary.

See the links in my signature?? Theres an alternate way to speed up the cracking process in my video volume 4...but making the databases is TIME CONSUMING with large password files. But at the speed it can crack its tremendously worth it.

How bigs your dictionary file?

Are you just doing simple WPA cracking? Or using airolib with aircrack??
